Correct.

Black scrim.

You are just making this up aren't you?

Has this happened to you? Has this happened to anyone you know?


> > Sighted opinions about the sound quality of a wire are "likely to be worthless" if the wire brands are known and the wires play music at different SPL's and there is no proof the listener can hear a difference (your posts are beyond "likely to be worthless", and have now reached the point of "nearly worthless").> >


By your own logic sighted opinions about speakers are also "likely to be worthless." By your own logic and given *your* biases, every opinion you hold about sound quality of playback is "likely to be worthless." Are you OK with that?
